“Trump’s Canada tariffs force family-owned California winery to sell business, including 10 vineyards”

“The company reportedly saw its annual shipments to Canada plunge from about 75,000 cases to just 1,000 after Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on global imports to the U.S. last year, prompting the Canadian boycott.”

“The winery facility has the capacity to crush 50,000 tons of grapes each year and bottle up to 3 million cases of wine. The company’s wine sales have fallen drastically since last summer as exports to Canada fell by about 74,000 cases between July 2025 and July 2026, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Canadian exports used to make up 40% of the company’s export sales, but have fallen to 5%. The vineyard has also seen a drop in its bulk sales to larger U.S. wine brands, which usually make up about 90% of its business.”

do the people calling for a US diesel export ban realize that that won't help at all?

1- there may be contracts in place for the exported diesel and that would be breaching those contracts - a no-no under CUSMA (ignoring the fact the US is ignoring CUSMA in the first place). Under CUSMA, anyone who's contracts are interfered with by gov't action can sue the gov't that introduced the changes - this goes both ways and not just Canada being "Nasty"

2- the raw crude for US refineries is heavy crude that mostly comes from Canada? if US exports are stopped/paused/delayed, then an export tariff on crude could go into effect and likely drive prices up as supply gets cut off while demand remains the same.

3- if it were really true that the US doesn't need anything from anyone else, the US wouldn't be in this mess presently.
